Zack Snyder, Movie Multi-Tasker

I'm not sure Zack Snyder sleeps at night. Not only is he in the thick of post-production on Watchmen, but he is currently in pre-production on two other films. He must have a lifetime supply of Red Bull. Because I lack his energy, I'm combining two news items into one.

First, Snyder has found a director for his epic zombie movie, Army of the Dead. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Snyder is giving the reins to first time director Matthijs van Heijningen. Van Heijningen has only commercial work to his credit so far, but Snyder praised his ability to "create compelling stories in 30 seconds." You can watch many of van Heijningen's commercials on YouTube. Judge for yourselves if he is up to the task of helming the most ambitious zombie movie in history.
